(KZN.RU,
August 5, Ksenia Shvetsova). From September 1, Kazan schools will provide
access to canteens for all parents who wish to assess the quality of school
meals. All questions and problems arising in the field of organization of
school meals must be solved only together with the parents of the students, said
Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, today at the Business Monday. He urged
parents to more actively monitor the work of the canteens and share their
comments and suggestions.
According
to Ilnar Khidiyatov, the head of the Education Department, in order to ensure
safety and unhindered access to the catering unit, parents will have to notify
the class teacher of their arrival in advance. “Feedback from parents will
allow quickly responding to the organization of school canteens”, said I.
Khidiyatov. “Hotlines and online polls will be organized to get feedback”.
He also
reminded that since April of this year, a parental control journal was
introduced in the city’s schools where active parents can leave their
suggestions.
The parents
of all schoolchildren should be informed about the new rules and the
possibilities of feedback, marked Ilsur Metshin. “We will solve issues with
school catering in dialogue with parents. At the first meetings in the new
school year, we need to convey this information to them and get feedback. And
we must use more actively those information technologies that we have”.
Kazan
parents can take part in various projects that are implemented by the
Department of Food and Social Catering. Last November, the project “Mother
Knows” for active parents of Kazan schoolchildren was launched. Parents meet
with department heads, try school meals, and discuss important issues for
students. To date, 5 meetings have been held within the framework of the
project, Rima Mukhamedshina, the head of the Department, noted in her report.
An online
questionnaire is also conducted and the special app is used for feedback.
